00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:13.580
Hello, I'm Johnny Mac with your daily comedy news. I'm
2
00:00:13.619 --> 00:00:15.820
glad a bunch of comedians are choosing to jump the
3
00:00:15.859 --> 00:00:19.100
shark together. Listen to this one. I hope this is good,
4
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:22.140
but I have a feeling. Live Nation Studios, Heartbeat, that's
5
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.480
Kevin Hart's company, and All Things Comedy got together. They're
6
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:30.579
making Golf Trip, an ensemble comedy starring Tom Segura, Andrew Santino,
7
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.439
and Timothy Simons. Some other people are in this. In
8
00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:36.609
Golf Trip, three best friends have their annual golf trip
9
00:00:36.670 --> 00:00:40.369
ruined while they're paired with the universally dreaded single. You see,
10
00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:42.450
for 20 years, four best friends have held on to
11
00:00:42.530 --> 00:00:45.609
one sacred tradition, their annual golf trip. No matter how
12
00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:47.899
much their lives have changed, this trip has remained the
13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.700
one weekend they can count on to reconnect, compete, and
14
00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:53.299
briefly escape from the pleasures of adulthood. This to me
15
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.000
just sounds like the thing they just did with Marcelo
16
00:00:56.020 --> 00:00:58.679
Hernandez and Kevin Hart in Miami that was a bachelor party.
17
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.340
It feels like that, but 20 years later. Because you see,
18
00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:03.420
when one of the four drops out at the last minute,
19
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.010
the remaining three arrive at the picture-perfect golf resort, only
20
00:01:07.049 --> 00:01:10.209
to be paired by Chuck Wheeler, an aggressively friendly, completely
21
00:01:10.269 --> 00:01:13.569
unfiltered solo golfer with no sense of personal boundaries, which
22
00:01:13.609 --> 00:01:16.329
should be a relaxing weekend, veers off course as Chuck
23
00:01:16.609 --> 00:01:18.269
inserts himself into the group and tests the limit of
24
00:01:18.290 --> 00:01:21.489
their patience. Andrew Santino, who's an avid golfer known for
25
00:01:21.549 --> 00:01:24.469
his podcast No Bad Lies, a golf podcast. He plays
26
00:01:24.530 --> 00:01:28.659
Jason and Simon plays Don. The director of Golf Trip
27
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.340
last sold the comedy pitch Fantasy Camp to Amazon. Nate
28
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.920
Bregazzi is attached to start of this one. This is
29
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:36.900
why I think this is going to be lame. I
30
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.519
don't think this is going to be, you know, Caddyshack 3.
31
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.719
I think this is going to be tame and a
32
00:01:41.739 --> 00:01:43.540
waste of the talent. I mean, you just have to
33
00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:45.739
listen to the suits. The head of film and television
34
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.799
at Live Nation Studios said, Golf Trip is a great
35
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.189
example of giving our Live Nation comedians an opportunity to
36
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.989
expand their talents to scripted projects. We found a really
37
00:01:55.030 --> 00:01:58.269
hilarious story and assembled an incredible group of comedic talent
38
00:01:58.549 --> 00:02:02.150
that audiences will want to tee off with. Uh-oh. That
39
00:02:02.209 --> 00:02:04.030
sentence did not land well. I almost threw up in
40
00:02:04.049 --> 00:02:07.599
my mouth. So they're all jumping the shark together. Congratulations
41
00:02:07.620 --> 00:02:09.900
to those folks. Ron White was on the Joe Rogan
42
00:02:09.939 --> 00:02:16.949
Experience and says, but only for performers who are ready
43
00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:20.069
when the moment arrives. Rogan compared a successful Kill Tony
44
00:02:20.090 --> 00:02:22.530
appearance to landing a sitcom. I don't know about that, Joe,
45
00:02:22.569 --> 00:02:24.509
but Joe said it's like the new Hollywood. You got
46
00:02:24.530 --> 00:02:27.569
a sitcom thing. Ron White cautioned that simply getting on
47
00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:30.060
the show guarantees nothing. Ron said if you're prepared for
48
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.180
the opportunity, then that's the best thing out there for you.
49
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:33.719
And if you're not, then it was just another day
50
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.580
at the park. Both Ron and Joe pointed to comedian
51
00:02:36.659 --> 00:02:39.879
Brent Reid as an example. Joe Rogan praised Reid for
52
00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:42.099
being honest about his performance. Reid said, I just had
53
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.060
to get my stuff together, man. I had to figure
54
00:02:44.099 --> 00:02:47.060
out what the hell I'm doing. Reed now opens for
55
00:02:47.090 --> 00:02:49.810
Ron White on tour. Ron White says he does not
56
00:02:49.870 --> 00:02:52.449
allow his opening acts to perform crowd work because then
57
00:02:52.490 --> 00:02:54.830
they feel like they can talk to me, which they cannot.
58
00:02:55.189 --> 00:02:57.469
Ron said he once used crowd interaction for a practical
59
00:02:57.509 --> 00:02:59.849
reason when he had 41 minutes of prepared material but
60
00:02:59.870 --> 00:03:02.659
was expected to perform for 45. Crowd work helped him
61
00:03:02.689 --> 00:03:05.580
fill the remaining time. Once he had enough written material,
62
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:08.120
he didn't do the crowd work. Now he hears younger
63
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.409
comedians announcing that they need to work on their crowd work,
64
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.650
and he said, well, you don't. Rogan argued that crowd
65
00:03:13.689 --> 00:03:16.430
work can be legitimate when it supports a comedian's material.
66
00:03:16.550 --> 00:03:19.150
He cited Big Jay Oakerson as an example. He said
67
00:03:19.169 --> 00:03:20.629
the crowd work is nice, but it's not the only
68
00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:22.610
thing he does, whereas some people, that's their whole thing.
69
00:03:23.009 --> 00:03:25.379
Ron White said, I learned this art form watching my
70
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.340
uncle preach. He was very funny and always getting a
71
00:03:27.379 --> 00:03:30.580
laugh on stage, saving souls every week. Ron has made
72
00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:33.080
changes to his health after moving to Austin. He said
73
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.780
he arrived drinking heavily and carrying 30 extra pounds. Now
74
00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:40.469
he has taken weight loss medication, hormone treatments, and regular exercise.
75
00:03:40.509 --> 00:03:42.629
During a recent European trip, he said he was able
76
00:03:42.650 --> 00:03:45.189
to climb mountains in Switzerland without his legs failing him,
77
00:03:45.210 --> 00:03:47.050
but he said, out of breath, but my legs are fine.
78
00:03:47.530 --> 00:03:49.949
And let's keep a good thought for Carrot Top. Carrot
79
00:03:49.969 --> 00:03:53.689
Top has been hospitalized and is recovering after an attempt
80
00:03:53.750 --> 00:03:56.759
at suicide over the weekend. His representative put out a
81
00:03:56.819 --> 00:03:59.819
statement using his real name, Scott Thompson. Mr. Thompson is
82
00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:02.240
recovering in the hospital and is receiving the care and
83
00:04:02.259 --> 00:04:04.620
support he needs. His family and those closest to him
84
00:04:05.050 --> 00:04:07.810
are deeply grateful for the concern, prayers, and respectfully ask
85
00:04:07.830 --> 00:04:11.569
for privacy. Born in Florida, raised in Cocoa Beach, Carrot
86
00:04:11.590 --> 00:04:14.409
Top appeared on Star Search in 1991. Even though he lost,
87
00:04:14.490 --> 00:04:17.069
he's still impressed. Three years later, he won the American
88
00:04:17.129 --> 00:04:20.939
Comedy Award for Funniest Male Stand-Up Comic. In 1995, Jay
89
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.139
Leno introduced Carrot Top on The Tonight Show as the
90
00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:27.290
comedian taking America by storm. In that appearance, Carrot Top
91
00:04:27.329 --> 00:04:29.209
came out in a dress that converted to pants and
92
00:04:29.250 --> 00:04:32.269
had two trunks of props, including a pasta strainer to
93
00:04:32.310 --> 00:04:35.050
be worn dangling from a belt to dissuade sniffing dogs,
94
00:04:35.449 --> 00:04:37.850
and three baseball bats for replacement players so they'll get
95
00:04:37.889 --> 00:04:40.800
a hit. In 1999, Carrot Top got a Razzie Award
96
00:04:40.810 --> 00:04:43.060
for his role in the movie Chairman of the Board.
97
00:04:44.220 --> 00:04:47.019
He also played himself in Pauly Shore as Dead in
98
00:04:47.019 --> 00:04:50.560
2003 and played himself in Hacks in 2024. Also over
99
00:04:50.569 --> 00:04:53.019
the weekend, TMZ reporting that Carrot Top's legal team is
100
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.560
speaking out about what they're calling an attempt to extort
101
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.160
the comedian. In a filing obtained by TMZ, the lawyer
102
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.120
said that a man threatened to enter a sexually explicit
103
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.779
recording on a USB drive depicting Carrot Top into a
104
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.600
court's legal docket unless he was paid $ 500, 000 as a settlement.
105
00:05:10.060 --> 00:05:11.800
If you or someone you know is struggling or is
106
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.959
in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or
107
00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:19.939
you can chat with 988lifeline. org. Did you watch Sunday Night Football?
108
00:05:19.980 --> 00:05:23.019
Did you see the Nikki Glaser opening? Now, what's really
109
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.720
interesting is that NBC was able to use a Taylor
110
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.000
Swift song. That probably didn't come cheap, but it's going
111
00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:31.199
to totally goof up my monetization here on YouTube. I'm
112
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.250
totally going to get a flag for this. So that's annoying,
113
00:05:33.550 --> 00:05:36.970
but not as annoying as Nikki Glaser. Let's listen. When
114
00:05:36.990 --> 00:05:40.069
you're on top of your game, everybody roots for your downfall.
115
00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:49.350
People love a winner. Until they win too much. People
116
00:05:49.389 --> 00:05:52.870
want dynasties to die and for champs to become chumps.
117
00:05:53.329 --> 00:05:55.939
And when that downfall finally comes... They are out of
118
00:05:55.980 --> 00:06:00.060
the playoff picture for the first time since 2014. It hurts.
119
00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:05.339
Like a tush-push you weren't expecting. But without the downfall,
120
00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:08.639
you don't get the thing that people love most of all. Showtime,
121
00:06:08.660 --> 00:06:12.790
this buzzer. The comeback. And for Chiefs Kingdom, the comeback
122
00:06:13.329 --> 00:06:19.399
starts now. You can never count out the Chiefs. Are
123
00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:22.019
you seriously not starting Mahomes and Kelsey in your fantasy
124
00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:25.680
leagues this year? Oh, so you, like, love losing? Okay.
125
00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:28.579
You think you're done seeing Andy Reid in chicken commercials?
126
00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:31.279
I don't want to live in that world. And you
127
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.680
know Collinsworth is going to keep gushing over Mahomes, changing
128
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:38.939
his arm angle? Oh, man. Are you ready for it?
129
00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:45.480
I mean, boy crushes like that are forever. And it's
130
00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:48.850
safe to say the world's greatest singer-songwriter is now a
131
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.810
permanent fixture at Arrowhead. And I speak for all Swifties
132
00:06:52.870 --> 00:06:59.529
when I say we want more cutaways. So here we go,
133
00:06:59.569 --> 00:07:03.970
Kansas City. Tonight, we take on the Colts. Before you
134
00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:06.829
know it, we'll be back on top. And then the
135
00:07:06.889 --> 00:07:09.149
rest of you can go back to hating us all
136
00:07:09.189 --> 00:07:18.360
over again. Vulture has put out their 12th annual list
137
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.279
of comedians you should and will know. I'm going to
138
00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:24.029
have to memorize that phrase because I'm going to forget it.
139
00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:25.639
And every time I bring this up for the next
140
00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:27.399
three months, I'm going to be like, the comedians you
141
00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:29.519
should know or whatever they call it, Vulture thing. This
142
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.050
is the list. Vulture says, here you will find dropouts, TikTokers,
143
00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:37.709
road dogs, competition winners, crap posters. I almost said a
144
00:07:37.750 --> 00:07:39.310
naughty word there. We try not to do this on
145
00:07:39.329 --> 00:07:42.949
this show. Brits and clowns. They're on tour in clubs, online,
146
00:07:42.990 --> 00:07:46.730
and in writer's rooms. They polled over 200 comedy scene experts,
147
00:07:46.790 --> 00:07:50.189
including sources of comedy clubs, festivals, late-night shows, improv theaters,
148
00:07:50.209 --> 00:07:54.069
TV networks, podcast studios, record labels, production companies, and film studios,
149
00:07:54.629 --> 00:07:57.610
as well as comedians previously featured on the list. I
150
00:07:57.629 --> 00:07:59.810
will pick at the list over the next few days,
151
00:07:59.870 --> 00:08:05.120
but the comedians are Jack Bensinger, Dukes, Grace Johnson, Hayden Johnson,
152
00:08:05.629 --> 00:08:11.160
Linjin Hao, Anya Magliano, Janet McNamara, Courtney O'Donnell, Milan Patel,
153
00:08:11.379 --> 00:08:16.759
Hassan Filz, Tanisha Just Nash Rice, Ethan Simmons Patterson, Ron Taylor,
154
00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:22.300
Sereny Wirasekera, Lou Wilson, Ivy Woke, is it Chloe or Zoli?
155
00:08:22.610 --> 00:08:27.149
I guess Zoli, X-H-L-O-E, and Natasha. Jimmy Kimmel back from vacation.
156
00:08:27.209 --> 00:08:29.850
How did the ratings do? He drew more than 2.5
157
00:08:29.850 --> 00:08:33.509
million total viewers. During the three new shows Labor Day week,
158
00:08:33.529 --> 00:08:36.259
it was a rerun on Monday and Friday. Jimmy Fallon
159
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.440
also was up after two weeks of repeats. He averaged 1.311
160
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.419
million total viewers. So basically, Kimmel is doubling Fallon right now,
161
00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:46.559
which is what we thought would happen. And all that
162
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.330
with Fallon getting a lead in from the NFL. The
163
00:08:49.350 --> 00:08:51.450
show did kick off a little later than usual because
164
00:08:51.490 --> 00:08:53.690
of the NFL kickoff game and the Wednesday night game
165
00:08:53.710 --> 00:08:56.289
that opened the season. But Fallon was up, but Jimmy
166
00:08:56.309 --> 00:09:00.100
Kimmel more up. Colin Jost and Pete Davidson's ferry had
167
00:09:00.129 --> 00:09:02.519
a ton of propaganda. Variety tells us the main room
168
00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:05.720
was packed because the ferry naturally didn't have one big corridor.
169
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.620
An overflow room projected a live feed of the main stage.
170
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.559
An event coordinator asked Variety, you're media, right? The person said, yes. Well,
171
00:09:13.580 --> 00:09:16.120
then we better put you up here. The event coordinator
172
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.700
whisked this Variety person straight up to the front, pointed
173
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.179
at two young women who immediately jolted to their feet
174
00:09:21.210 --> 00:09:24.409
and shuffled towards the far end of the bench. The
175
00:09:24.429 --> 00:09:26.850
Variety person said, I'm sorry I took your seats. The
176
00:09:26.889 --> 00:09:29.509
women glanced at each other and said, it's okay, trust me.
177
00:09:29.929 --> 00:09:31.509
Variety says it took a couple minutes to figure out
178
00:09:31.529 --> 00:09:34.149
what they meant. Then, quote, I pulled out my phone
179
00:09:34.169 --> 00:09:35.950
to take a picture of the stage. A black bar stool,
180
00:09:36.009 --> 00:09:38.139
a glass, peach tea snapple, and a mic stand. I
181
00:09:38.149 --> 00:09:39.629
wasn't just in the front row. I was in the
182
00:09:39.649 --> 00:09:42.340
hot seat, the very hot seat, directly under the mic stand.
183
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.220
Stage lights beamed down on me, and the ferry cabin
184
00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:48.399
itself was extremely muggy. We're told the room skewed younger
185
00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:51.120
millennials and older Gen Z. I know some of us
186
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.320
old Gen Xers tried to get tickets and couldn't get in.
187
00:09:53.899 --> 00:09:57.000
This is interesting. Most towards the front looked like or
188
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.120
probably were influencers who look good on camera. I see
189
00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:02.899
what you did there, Pete and Colin. Okay. Variety says,
190
00:10:03.019 --> 00:10:05.039
usually I'll recognize at least a few media friends in
191
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.529
a crowd like this. Not here. Hmm. At nine o'clock sharp,
192
00:10:08.549 --> 00:10:11.509
the lights went dark. Davidson and Jost emerged from beneath
193
00:10:11.549 --> 00:10:14.809
the neon Snapple Island ferry sign to applause. This would
194
00:10:14.830 --> 00:10:16.549
be the first and last time we'd see the two
195
00:10:16.590 --> 00:10:20.440
co-hosts all night. That's lame, boys. That is lame. Pete said,
196
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.139
this is something we've wanted to do for like five years.
197
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.039
Thank you guys for coming out. Thank you to our sponsor.
198
00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:27.220
Jost said, everyone feeling hot and nauseous? That's a good feeling. Obviously,
199
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.799
we'll get going soon. We're going to stop at the
200
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:32.399
Strait of Hormuz. Then Jost looked over at Pete to
201
00:10:32.419 --> 00:10:34.600
tee up the next punchline, and it became clear that
202
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:38.179
the reference sailed over Pete's head. No shocker. Pete said back,
203
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.059
I like how you thought I knew what that is.
204
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:44.659
He glanced down at the clock, 8.17 remaining. Pete said,
205
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.259
I love that this is our body language. It's truly
206
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:49.399
like we're waiting for someone to start a fight. Joe said,
207
00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:52.710
we don't exactly know what to do. This sounds pretty rough, actually.
208
00:10:53.110 --> 00:10:54.649
We have an incredible show. There are so many great
209
00:10:54.669 --> 00:10:57.370
comedians here. Macklemore is here tonight. The crowd liked that one.
210
00:10:57.409 --> 00:11:01.049
That's a good joke. Matt Richards served as the emcee. Parentheses,
211
00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:03.450
filling the role many of us presumed Davidson and Jost
212
00:11:03.490 --> 00:11:06.409
would play. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Set the tone for the
213
00:11:06.450 --> 00:11:08.649
night by chugging an entire Snapple in one go. And
214
00:11:08.669 --> 00:11:10.480
then he told a very naughty story that I'm not
215
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.299
even going to go near. All right. He says Caitlin
216
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.820
Palufo stormed the stage with material in the let's call
217
00:11:14.860 --> 00:11:18.200
it advanced workshopping stages. Did everybody mail this show in?
218
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.179
This sounds terrible. The New York Times said Davidson and
219
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.679
Jost performed a loose seven minute opening set before a
220
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.539
lineup of well-known and rising New York City comedians. The
221
00:11:26.590 --> 00:11:28.769
Times pointed out poor air conditioning and a lack of
222
00:11:28.809 --> 00:11:32.490
ventilation made the upper deck performance area stiflingly hot. It
223
00:11:32.529 --> 00:11:34.169
was very hot in New York City on Thursday. I
224
00:11:34.169 --> 00:11:35.809
was in for the podcast conference and it was a
225
00:11:35.830 --> 00:11:39.450
hot day. The Times quotes a 35-year-old Lower East Side
226
00:11:39.590 --> 00:11:41.509
resident named Mia who had come to the event because
227
00:11:41.529 --> 00:11:44.289
she was a big fan of SNL and said, with
228
00:11:44.309 --> 00:11:46.169
such big names attached to it, I feel like you
229
00:11:46.210 --> 00:11:49.009
expect more. But it was a fun time. Sounds like
230
00:11:49.049 --> 00:11:52.580
it wasn't that good. That is your comedy news for today.
231
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:53.639
I'll see you tomorrow.
